Question regarding operation of heater core in W124 vs W114

I noticed that the W124 has the auxiliary electric water pump and seems to accelerate hot coolant flow from the radiator to the heater core...

The W114 I am working on does not seem to have this kind of system.

Do I have this right?

(There is always flow of coolant from the radiator to the heater core in the W124 at all times, only when the operator of the car turns on the A/C system does the auxiliary water pump switch on thus increasing the flow rate of said coolant...?)
